Selected Discourses and Commentary on the Psalms

He who is entirely from that source is of the grace of Aphrodite original: "ܐܦܪܘܕܝܛܐ" — likely used here as a reference to a mythological archetype of beauty/origin often found in syncretic philosophical texts of the era, and the offspring of life were gathered to him. And from her came the light for the offspring of life, and they were cleansed from the waves metaphorical for turmoil or corruption. Now, those who were cleansed, they are the kinds of light that were swallowed by that evil one. Just as for that power that came forth from the kinds of light, as if to cleanse them, as if from mixture, and as if they should be separated from the mixture of the evil one. And as if the light should be cleansed from the darkness and because of this, the fourths and the four pairs of the children were separated for them. And because there were light and swift beings among the animals, and there were heavy ones among them, and there were weighty ones among them. And there were swift ones among them. And because there were living beings of light among them and there were living beings of darkness among them, their whole thought, one by one, was divided so that those living beings of light that had been swallowed by the darkness might be separated from them. And so that the light might be cleansed from the darkness. And there was a mixture of life and death, and as the life should be separated from the death, and as the light should be cleansed from the darkness. And because of this, the fourths and the four pairs of the children were separated for them. And they are those who were cleansed from the waves. And they are those who were separated from them, those living beings of darkness. And they are those who were separated from the mixture of the evil one. And they are those who were cleansed from the darkness. And they are those who were separated for them from the living lives and from the dead deaths. And as the light should be cleansed from the darkness. And because of this, the fourths and the four pairs of the children were separated for them. And they are those who were cleansed from the waves. And they are those who were separated from them, those living beings of darkness. And they are those who were separated from the mixture of the evil one. And they are those who were cleansed from the darkness. And they are those who were separated for them from the living lives and from the dead deaths. And as the light should be cleansed from the darkness. And because of this, the fourths and the four pairs of the children were separated for them.
